My initial plan was to have another human character but after how long I spent on my first one and the fact I had two more to do, I decided to make the antagonist a robot to cut down on modelling time. It would’ve worked out if the rig didn’t break but there ewe go :)))

So when Debra was going round the other day she was a bit confused to the actual setting of the story (and why my characters mask fits like that on his face) so heres a bit of context into the kind of setting I was going for.

I was looking at other games and films that were set in either a western, other worldly or apocalyptic environment.

Here are a few references I got ideas from 🙂

The Good The Bad and The Ugly (1968) – classic and used a lot of references for my camera shots, especially when I go into close ups on the eyes.

Borderlands 2 (2012) – really liked this one and the idea of it being on another planet.

This is the art style I went for (Disney Infinity) which is why his fingers are so blocky and what not 🙂

Star Wars Rebels was another inspiration and I really liked the setting and flat colours!

I’m basically ready to start animating now, annoyed its taken so long to get to this point but with 3 characters and a whole environment on top of everything else I’ve been doing I’m pretty pleased with where I’m at 🙂

So I’ve fully broken my rig for my third character, I don’t know how but its completely gone wrong so I’ll have to restart it.

Meanwhile I’ll start blocking without him whilst I slowly rebuild it.

On top of the helping the third years with their projects, 4 environments, one rigged rope, a recorded audio, an 800 word essay, a show reel, 2 logos, 1 banner, sketching and general practice, and the 4 shifts I’ve somehow been put on this week. Fun fun fun :))))))
